Drive a P.O.S. car to the protest, add 60" of snow and no plows (because the bridge got burned), guess what? The car is stuck. Add a month of below zero temps, and guess what? Now the car is stuck and dead. Now toss in some 40 and 50 degree weather, now the car is stuck in the mud (once the snow melts) and dead. Next stop, bottom of the river.
